At 3:30 this afternoon I had a Louisiana Waterthrush at Long Point Provincial Park. It was foraging along the margin of a small pond in some of the dogwood thickets in the pines. Since the gate to the park is not yet open, you have to walk in. It was north of the most north-westerly beach parking lot.
Also present in the park were dozens (50+) each of E. Phoebe and Northern Flickers, 4 Fox Sparrow, 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 2 Eastern Towhee, 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and 1 Myrtle Warbler. Golden-crowned Kinglets and Brown Creepers were everywhere. To reach Long Point Provincial Park follow Highway 59 to the very end of the road. You have to walk in from the gate.
